Question 1

Is Oakford a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Oakford is a semi-rural suburb in Perth’s outer south east, made up of large rural-residential lots, hobby farms and horse properties tucked into jarrah and marri woodlands and gently rolling country. Residents tend to value space, privacy and an outdoor lifestyle, with stables, paddocks and substantial sheds common. It is a small community of 2,803 people with a median age of 42, and families are the dominant household type (couple families with children 53.6%). Homes are overwhelmingly owner-occupied, with 94.9% owned outright or with a mortgage.

Local retail and services are limited, so day-to-day needs are generally met in neighbouring towns, while major roads provide a straightforward route into the metropolitan area. Oakford is on the alignment for the Tonkin Highway extension and Thomas Road upgrade; a proposed K–12 private school is under assessment and construction has begun on a new volunteer bush fire brigade station. If you value larger blocks, an outdoor lifestyle and an established home-owning community, Oakford shows that mix; whether it suits you depends on how close you want shops and services.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Oakford?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Oakford to put reliable figures on what homes cost to buy or rent. Without current price or rent data, it isn't possible to describe how expensive living in Oakford is compared with local household incomes recorded at the most recent Census.

Everyone's financial situation is different, so it's important to consider your own circumstances when deciding which suburb is right for you.

Question 3

Is Oakford a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

The standout figure for Oakford is the strong rise in house values, which climbed 65.0% over the past 12 months. That movement represents capital growth — the change in what houses are worth over the year — and whether that scale of price growth fits your investment goals depends on what you are looking for.
